The Arch Portrait places your pet within a tall terracotta arch, rounded at the top like a doorway, on a warm cream ground. The chest rests at the base and the head reaches the top, all in a realistic painted look. An arch dog portrait follows the same layout.

The arch pet portrait page suggests an oak look frame for you, and you can change it to another colour. The white mount is for framed prints only. Without one, the picture reaches the frame edge. Keep the full head in shot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which frame colour suits the Arch Portrait?

The style page suggests an oak look frame for the Arch Portrait, and you can change it to another colour before you order. The white mount is for framed prints only. Choose no mount and the picture runs to the frame edge instead.

Will the Arch Portrait work for a cat or a horse?

Yes. A cat, dog or horse all suit the style. Our studio examples show it on a tabby and white cat, a grey shorthair and a chestnut horse, alongside four dogs.

What should the photo show for an Arch Portrait?

Use one photo of one pet, taken in good daylight with no flash. Hold the camera at your pet's eye level, with your pet facing the camera, and keep the whole head in the photo, near enough that the eyes are clear. A phone photo is fine, and the page tells you straight away if the image is too small or blurry.

Can one portrait have two pets, or me with my pet?

One portrait holds up to three pets, or you with your pet, one pet with one or two people, or two pets with one person. Add one photo per pet and per person, and a selfie is fine. With a person in the portrait, one photo of everyone together also works, and you confirm you hold the rights to the photos. Separate photos come out side by side, close together, nobody hugging or holding. No extra cost. A few styles stop at two pets, shown on the style page.

What changes can I ask for on my portrait?

Each style page has an optional Special requests box above Add to cart. Our design team reads your note and makes the change before your proof, included in the price. People ask for the name smaller or larger, the name centred or moved up or down, wider or tighter letter spacing, two names over two lines, a background colour outside the swatches, a collar, lead or harness left out, a stray object behind the pet tidied away, the crop adjusted for more room above the ears, or an eye colour or coat marking corrected.

What if it does not look like my pet?

You are the judge, first in the free preview before you pay. If it is not right, try another photo or another style at no cost. Write what you would like adjusted in the Special requests box. After you order, a designer reviews the portrait to make sure it will print well, then you receive a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, and if you want it refined at the proof, we refine it at no cost.
